The Gotham Book Club  will feature THE ART FORGER by B.A. Shapiro at our next discussion on Wednesday, October 14th at 8:00 p.m.

"An engaging tale about art, cupidity, and a Faustian bargain...Shapiro convincingly depicts the rarefied art world that lionizes a chosen few and ignores the talented, scrabbling outsiders on the fringe. Shapiro is adept, too, at showing the white-hot heat of an artist engaged in creating a painting. She knows art history, painting techniques, and how forgers have managed through the centuries to dupe buyers into paying for fakes...Inventive and entertaining."
—The Boston Globe (A Boston Globe Best Crime Book of 2012)
